The Indie Coffee Passport. Less than Three Edition

Published date December 10, 2013

Since 2010, the Indie Coffee Passport has been helping me explore Toronto and all the independent cafe’s within it. I’ve found places I keep visiting, I’ve found places I never wanted to go again, but the important thing was that I got to check them out, and see parts of...

I don’t think enough people know about The Depanneur (I’m just going to call them The Dep). Or people have heard about them, but don’t realize the rich diversity of options this little food spot has. When I mention it to fellow vegans in town – sometimes they know about it,...

Things I Love Whenever: Catching Up. Best of Toronto. Yummy Things. Vegan Donuts.

Published date November 10, 2013

This has been a really great week. I spent some of it feeling gross and yucky with flu-like symptoms, but even despite that, it’s been a great week. I started writing this on Thursday… but life got in the way. First of all, in “MeShell the Consumer” news, I ordered...

Bento Miso – Urban Acorn – Beatles Themed Dinner Party

Published date October 27, 2013

Why has it taken me so long to talk about this? I don’t know, but my wedding based excuses are going to run out soon. Many many Thursday’s ago I went to Bento Miso for Urban Acorn’s Beatles themed supper club. It was a great opportunity to talk to other...
